This has been reported in timesofindia.indiatimes.com dated 10 June 2016.
Because Gujarat is widely seen as a vegetarian state, the global pizza chain Pizza Hut had made its entry into the state with first vegetarian restaurant in the world. Other global brands like Subway, KFC and McDonalds are not just experimenting with vegetarian food but also offering Jain food.
Incidentally, Gujarat has more people eating non-vegetarian food than in Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan!!
As per the SRS survey, 71% population in India is non-vegetarian while 28.85% is vegetarian. Highest number of poultry, meat and fish eaters are in Telangana where 98.7% population is non-vegetarian followed by West Bengal (98.55%), Odisha (97.35%) and Kerala (97%).
Gujarat has the longest 1,600-Km coastline and the population consists of 15% tribal, 7% Dalits, 50% OBS and 12% minorities like Muslims, Christians and Parsis are non-vegetarians. Hence this trend.
